How to update your theme to the latest version available

Keeping your theme up to date is a good idea if you want all of the latest features and bugfixes. The current version number can be seen in the top right corner of the theme page. If your own theme version is older than this, you should update. Here is how:

First off, if you haven’t used a child theme for your theme customizations, you need to do the following before anything else:

Backup your custom.css file

Backup your custom language files

Backup all custom code you’ve added in theme files

If you’ve used a child theme you don’t need to worry about losing any changes.

Next step – how to upload it: You can do one of the following:

Delete the current (parent) theme in the admin panel, upload the new zip file via admin and activate it

Delete the current theme folder via ftp and upload the new one

Change the old theme folder name to eg. theme-old via FTP, then upload the new zip via admin or FTP

Your admin panel settings will be saved, so you don’t have to worry about them. You may need to press save once in Theme Options for the settings to be re-added.

first of all: great job with these themes, especially the “Anew” is absolutely brilliant from my point of view. Well done!

I updated Anew to 2.0.0 right now and found two issues (one of them was already present in v1.0.3):

1) If one uses any of the (great) shortcodes, all text inside the shortcode-tags is removed from any excerpt. Be it either on a search result or just when having the excerpt visible on a blog overview.

2) Unfortunately the setting for “Website Max-width” in Design > Theme Options > Styling does not have any influence on the look of my website anymore! In 1.0.3 the content changed properly when changing the value for this setting, but with 2.0.0 in use there is no effect visible.

It would be great if you could have a look at these issues and report back how they might be overridden… ;-))

If you have a look to the “Recent Comments” area on the “Tabs”-widget you can see that the time next to the comment is NOT the time of the comment itself, but of the post it belongs to. This is quite strange to me, so I simply don’t think that this is intentionally done like that 😉

Second thing is: I really would be glad if you could give some hints on the following:

1) How to make such a “Child Menu” area like you show on the demo site!??

Hello Alex
The first: Hueman is awesome theme! I just only modify some in font to support Vietnamese and I have all I need. I trying use it to make a block supporting to learning English in Vietnam.
But I have some difficult when config it to make it like Demo site.
Could you give me the full code of your Demo site.

i’ve just updated the theme via the updater at wordpress, and all th styling options it simply just don’t work, all the colores stay like the default one, also sidebar width stay as default, i made the changes, refresh it, even try other browsers and it still keeps the default settings any advice?

Dear Mr. Alex,
I am a one of your hueman-theme user, and I love to use it. But the problem appear when the last update come and I want to update it. As I made some changes in some templates, I have to use child-theme as you and wordpress suggest it. I made hueman-child folder and insert customized-files (style.php, header.php, and footer.php). Then I tried to activate it thru theme dashboard, but it said that templates are missing. I don’t understand, what should I have to do? Even I downloaded child-theme master from your website. Can you help me solving this. I appreciate if you give some tutorial thru my email: dr.nasseer@gmail.com
Thank you very much.

Love your theme Hueman and I am using it for multiple clients, my problem is that I updated to the latest version and now I am getting error messages interspersed throughout the pages. I need to undo the update. I had no customizations that would require a child theme, just options included within the theme. I hope I can get this resolved soon as my client will be pretty upset if he sees it!! Thanks!!

Greetings from Poland! the Hueman theme is great and I will use it on my review site! Really good theme and for free, you are golden brain and you should create premium themes too also and get money for it 🙂 Bye and Good Luck in future projects 🙂

Hi, Alex, Your Hueman theme is awesome and I want to use it on my site. I am a novice and do not know many things to customize. I really liked the way you divided your left side bar on your demo home page (http://demo.alxmedia.se/hueman/) in to two section i.e. Recent and popular post. I tried but could not. Also I could not bring the search button at the top bar. I can add it as a widget at left or right sidebar though. Can you please guide me?

Hello Alexander,
Thank you for your very kind contribution. I am starting up a not for profit health blog so finance is very limited, so I am particularly grateful.. I am very poor with ‘tech’ stuff and so have been watching youtube tutorials to try to make adaptation easier.. I have opted to go with the Hueman theme, just wondered if things are running relatively well with this theme.. Thanks again!! 🙂
